jeeez you should warn me if your going to post a giant, nearly fell of my chair

if your referring to your EU messages then it will simply be down to what you have your Alert Proximity set at. Mine is currently 0.0005 ie: 5 pips but actually I was thinking of narrowing it to 2 pips.

what is your D-pp value for EU

what would be the alert proximity setting each time bid/ask moves above or below the level. real-time so to speak? Also, how does 'repeat message timeout' factor into this?

we are dealing only with bids (although that is food for thought)....

Level is say 1.30050 Alert Proximity set at 0.0005 5pips so alert triggered if bid crosses upwards at 1.30000 or downwards at 1.30100 ie: 5 pips above and below

The repeat alert is number of seconds not to issue the same level alert after it has alerted.

The repeat color (green default) indicates an alert at the same level as the last alert (saves scrolling alerts unnecessarily)

you missed a lot of trades because you using only R1 . why you not using Mr1 ? mid levels is good .

DAX - LONG

Above D-R2 hopefully a rally before close, if not it's cheap enough being long just over the level..
